What documents are needed for traveling with a child?

For domestic flights within Russia, children under 14 years old require a birth certificate.

If traveling to another country, the child will need a passport.

When a minor Russian citizen crosses the state border of the Russian Federation accompanied by one parent, consent from the other parent is not required unless the border authorities have received a statement of objection from that parent regarding the child's departure from Russia. No additional documents confirming kinship are required.

If a minor Russian citizen travels abroad unaccompanied by parents, adoptive parents, guardians, or trustees, they must have, in addition to their passport, a notarized consent from the aforementioned persons for the minor's departure, indicating the duration of travel and the destination country(ies). Consent from one parent is sufficient if no objection has been received from the other parent regarding the child's unaccompanied departure from Russia.
